Thanks Luis, I feel like I'm getting there (baby steps), but such a CoCo
novice :-)

But the last step...reading from the CF is still giving me I/O Error.

If I do a DISKINI 0, 1, etc then that seems to go through and comes back to
the OK prompt (CF activity LED illuminates).

Another thing I have done is to use the CoCo SDC with HDB-DOS in a flash bank.

I mounted a floppy in drive0, booted to HDB-DOS, enabled the floppy drives
(DRIVE OFF), tried a 'BACKUP 0 TO 4' to copy the floppy to hard disk 4.
The SDC & CF activity LEDs both flicker and it completes back to an OK
prompt, but I still cannot read the HD disk 4 (CF). 

Cheers,
Shane
